Overview: Li-ion batteries have become the cornerstone of energy storage in the green shift for use in mobility, stationary storage and technological devices. This is because of their ability to store large amounts of chemical energy produced by intermittent renewable energy sources. In order to advance Li-ion battery technologies, significant research and development in the laboratory is required. This is a process that takes large amounts of time and does not always yield positive results. With the urgent need for energy storage solutions, new approaches to research and development are required. One promising route is to develop a Li-ion battery digital twin. This would allow the development of robust theories and hypotheses before conducting laboratory research, in turn reducing the time for research and development.

Goals and tasks: The task will be to assess modelling routes for developing a digital twin. Focus will be on selecting and developing pre-existing models of Li-ion battery characteristics.

---

Desired skills and Characteristics: Students must have: - Basic knowledge of electrochemistry, Li-ion batteries and modelling approaches (e.g., matlab and/or python); - be able to work independently with high levels of initiative with guidance from their supervisor; - have good problem-solving skills; - enjoy working in a research environment with many other researchers; and, interesting in a renewable, clean future.
